This is a congress woman, do you approve of elected officials acting like idiots?

I'm sure you'd be proud to have this congresswoman representing you. ::)
I certainly do not nor did I give any indiction I did.
If were talking sex scandal all I have to say is Bill Clinton...the score could be 100 to 1 Reps to Dems and if that 1 is Bill Clinton then Dems still win hands down brain child.
You really shouldnt bring up sex scandals and politicians if youre trying to make a the point youre making...
The point I made is what's a little off key singing during a rally compared to some of the stuff our politicans get in to? Incidentally, take a look at what some of these folks have done. It seems to me Clinton was not as bad as they are in many cases.
The point wasn't about her off key signing ::) It was about her demonstrating what an obnoxious loudmouth she is. It was only one example, of which there are many, of her making an ass of herself. Even the national liberal media make fun of her. Hopefully, re-districting will knock her out.
Check out this list:
What I love is the hiprocasy of some of these folks. They were quick to point the finger at others who'd messed up all the while doing the same and worse themselves. Heck there is even a little GetBig G4P included.
The score: Democrats 3, Republicans 14....Republicans win again!
OK. I still say that being an obnoxious loud mouth is nothing compared to the scandals I listed. If her constituents think she is amiss, they will vote her out. No harm done. I am not going to look for some Republican that made and ass out of themselves on You-tube, but I will say that it seems to me there have been a few, such as Sarah Palin who often seems like an idiot when she speaks and who continues to pimp out her slutty daughter for the media attention and money it brings in.
Or not. :)

How this character being a crook is Hillary Clinton's fault is beyond my comprehension. Are you suggesting if someone sets up a phony campaign donation fund, collecting money from unsuspecting donors and which never goes to support the campaign, but is actually intended for personal gain is the fault of the candidate or party who was exploited by the crook? That is just ludicrous!
Of course her constituents love her. She fights to preserve welfare fraud. She fights against requiring voter ID. She fights to have your tax dollar pay for abortions, because "it is better to have an abortion than make a child be forced to live “eating Ramen noodles” and “mayonnaise sandwiches.”
How do I register to vote?http://wisconsinvote.org/resources (http://wisconsinvote.org/resources)
To vote in Wisconsin you need to be registered. You can register any time up to and including election day. Before an election, you can register in person at your city clerk's office, or by completing a voter registration application and mailing it to your city clerk. On election day, you can register at your polling place with ID and proof of address.
Oregon adults can register online beginning 9 a.m. Monday by going to the Internet site: www.oregonvotes.org. They will be required to have a valid Oregon driver's license, permit or identification card. For those who register online, the signatures on their driver's licenses, permits or ID cards will serve as the signatures for voter registration cards. Those signatures will be checked to validate mail ballots in elections.
Are you suggesting we have a shortage of babies in this country? Are you willing to adopt all those kids whose parents have no means to support them and worse have no desire or often ability to take care of them in anyway, including basic nurturing? Perhaps you could start a personal charity for unwanted children who were not aborted and are often abused.
I believe as in most states, Wisconsin requires ID to register to vote. See below:
http://wisconsinvote.org/resources (http://wisconsinvote.org/resources)
In Oregon, where I live you can register to vote online. Here is what you'll need to do that:
Are you kidding? That's your argument? So what you're saying is that you have no problem with YOUR tax dollars funding abortions and contraception (which is one in the same for many)?
And Wisconsin DOES NOT require an ID to vote (or register).

Photo ID Not Required
If the elector does not have a current, valid Wisconsin driver license, Wisconsin state ID card, or Social Security Number, the applicant may indicate this by filling in the appropriate circle on the registration form. (Box 2 on GAB-131)
THE REGISTRATION CANNOT BE PROCESSED UNTIL THE ELECTOR PROVIDES THIS INFORMATION.
If the voter has a current, valid Wisconsin driver license but does not know the number and did not bring it to the polling place, poll workers must allow the voter to vote by provisional ballot. (Note: the voter CANNOT use the last 4 digits of their Social Security Number if he or she has been issued a Wisconsin driver’s license). The provisional ballot will not be counted until the voter either:
a) brings his or her driver license number to his or her polling place before the polls close at 8:00 pm on Election Day; or
b) transmits (via fax, email, telephone call or personal visit) his or her driver license number to the municipal clerk before 4:00 pm on the Friday after the Election.
The following voter registration information is from the link you provided.
Voter Photo ID provisions of 2011 Wisconsin Act 23 are currently enjoined orders of by two Wisconsin circuit courts. Those decisions have been appealed by the Attorney General, but until they are resolved, no photo ID is required to receive a ballot in Wisconsin.
On September 27, 2012, the Wisconsin Supreme Court declined for a second time to hear the cases prior to action by the Court of Appeals.
OK Princess, So how is this the congresswoman in the video's or for that matter the Democratic party's fault? Seems like this is an issue with the supreme court.

*sigh* Voter ID bill was passed last year. Dems cried suppression and subsequently filed a lawsuit.
The Milwaukee branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and immigrant rights group Voces de la Frontera sued, arguing the law creates too heavy a burden on voters.
Dane County Circuit Judge David Flanagan (D) sided with the groups, ruling the law impairs the right to vote.
State Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen said in a statement Wednesday he believes the law is constitutional.
Another (D) Madison judge has blocked the law in a separate lawsuit filed by the League of Women Voters. Van Hollen is appealing that decision, too.

Here is the thing, Princess. This land was once the exclusive home of the American Indian. All the rest of us are immigrants.
My family immigrated with the Pilgrims on the Mayflower and fought in the Revolutionary War. I qualify to be a member or the SAR (Sons of the American Revolution, just in the case you don't know what that means). My forefathers were tobacco plantation owners who kept African American slaves which also were immigrants to this land. Despite my pedigree of American heritage, I am still the ancestor of immigrants from England. So now tell me, who am I to say who qualifies as an American and who does not? Tell me also, who are you to do the same?
I am a Democrat and I agree that all registered voters should be legal citizens of the U.S. I have no problem with folks having to provide proof that they have a legal right to vote. The truth is that many Republicans are also recent immigrants. To suggest that Democrats are all for a bunch of "wet backs" seeking to take over this country is simply crazy. The truth of the matter is that Latinos (Spanish Americans) were here long before most of us European settlers arrived. We all learned this in elementary school history. Check out what was originally Spanish territory,
But then, I live in the wild, wild west and am counted among the multitude of Democrats in my neck of the woods and maybe this disqualifies me as being a true patriotic American in the eyes of some Midwesterner "tea party" folks these days.

Your point? Or are you just rambling?
The 18th and 19th century are long past, we should absolutely set stringent standards as to who qualify to be American citizens.
You are entitled to your opinion. My guess is that it makes little difference to you who people are or how they got here, if they agree with you they are fine, but if they don't then get rid of them. In other words, if Latinos vote Republican then they are fine, but if they vote Democrat, send them back to wherever they came from.
I wouldn't be surprised if you don't care much of African Americans either. Bet you loved Sarah Palin who in some people's opinion often makes a big ass out of herself. Why not post a video of her doing that?

The problem with that is many people don`t have access or a way to get a Picture ID or even the money to do so. The right to vote is a guaranteed right and there should be zero loopholes to have to jump through in order to do so. Its is a guaranteed right.
Thank you for the history lesson. Once again, you've drifted so far outside the scope, I'm not even sure what point you're trying to make.
Voter ID - PROVIDE A PICTURE ID WITH PROOF OF WHERE YOU RESIDE. Where is the problem with that?

How do I get a FREE photo ID?
Voter Photo ID provisions of 2011 Wisconsin Act 23 are currently enjoined orders of by two Wisconsin circuit courts. Those decisions have been appealed by the Attorney General, but until they are resolved, no photo ID is required to receive a ballot in Wisconsin.
However, Wisconsin law still requires the Department of Transportation to provide free ID cards to any individual who will be at least 18 years of age on the date of the next election and who requests a free ID for the purpose of voting. The regular fee is $28.
For information about getting a state identification card, please visit the DOT's website:
http://www.dot.wisconsin.gov/drivers/drivers/apply/idcard.htm
Due to the need to provide a birth certificate and/or other documents to receive a DOT-issued ID, individuals should start the process of obtaining a statutory identification well in advance of an election at which they wish to vote. You may also consult our pamphlet on how to get a free state ID card.

There have been some developments since 1620:
American colonization
Declaration of Independence
The Articles of Confederation
The U.S. Constitution
The abolition of slavery
The end of racial segregation
A few sprinkles of war
and maybe one or two more that I'm missing.
The point is, we're almost 400 years post-Plymouth Rock. Most things are done differently all over the world, including immigrating to the United States of America.
There are proper and necessary channels to go through. Lot of people do, and THOSE are the ones who qualify as Americans.
What bothers me is people who would deny others citizenship because of their age, race, religion or country of origin.
